With the little old man's explanation, Yong gradually came to understand what the "Fire God Kagura" meant...
Many traditional rituals included "dance segments." As Yong understood it, or put in his own words, they were basically "shaman dances"...
The Sun-Stealing Remnants had this kind of ceremony too.
Only, it wasn't people who danced, but Pokémon!
Each of the five remnant Families had to send out a Volcarona to perform a "battle dance."
This wasn't meaningless.
The so-called "battle dance" was actually the move Quiver Dance!
The move raised their Special Attack, Special Defense, and Speed. Then, the five Volcarona combined their power to ignite the Flame Spiral, Life Spiral, Sky Spiral, Volcano Spiral, and Sun Spiral-the five great spirals inside the Temple ahead!
These corresponded to the clan emblems of the five "Sun-Stealing Remnant" Families!
Each spiral required the combined power of all five Volcarona to ignite, which took a considerable amount of time. This had to be done before the ritual!
Throughout the process, the five Larvesta about to undergo the baptism would watch from beginning to end. Whether they could learn anything from it depended entirely on them.
It also symbolized this: "When the volcano's shadow shrouds all! Volcarona shall take the sun's place! Illuminate the sky! And bring life to the world!"
Soon, every member of the Enjo Clan had put on a scarlet robe bearing a sky-blue triangle with a horizontal bar on either side!
That blue winged triangle was the Enjo Clan's emblem-the Sky Spiral!
Even Yong wore a red, flame-shaped ceremonial cap on his head, also adorned with the Sky Spiral. The difference was that the triangle and horizontal bars on his cap weren't connected. This signified that Yong was attending the baptism as Larvesta's envoy and an honored guest of the Enjo Clan.
